Shot on 8mm film in 1969, this vintage home movie captures seals swimming in a pool at a zoo in Reno, Nevada. The footage shows the animals gliding through green-tinged water beneath a metal railing, with spectators watching from above. A person in a red jacket walks past the enclosure as the seals move gracefully, their dark bodies contrasting against the illuminated pool. The grainy, color-bleached quality of the Super 8 film evokes a nostalgic, archival feel, offering authentic 1960s-era zoo footage.
